This is a concrete credential theft and remote-command attack surface. ## Latest scan - **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1 - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Started:** 2026-09-03T22:52:42.927Z - **Finished:** 2026-09-03T22:53:12.067Z - **Download time:** 510 ms - **Static scan time:** 12 ms - **AI review time:** 28617 ms - **Total time:** 29140 ms ## Security analysis ### Published attack-surface review - **Summary:** Installation automatically executes code that harvests likely secrets, transmits them to an external host, and opens a shell connection. This is a concrete credential theft and remote-command attack surface. - **Trigger:** npm installation runs the postinstall script. - **Impact:** An attacker-controlled server can receive credentials and obtain shell access under the installing user's permissions. - **Evidence paths:** package.json, index.js, servers.json - **Review source:** ai\_review - **Reviewed:** 2026-09-03T22:53:12.067Z ### AI review details - **Review stage:** source\_first\_review - **Mechanism:** Environment-secret exfiltration and netcat reverse shell. - **Attack narrative:** When installed, the postinstall hook runs index.js. It reads the package server configuration, selects environment variables likely to contain credentials, sends them over TCP to 84.32.22.44:9999, and executes netcat with /bin/sh against that server. The package also identifies itself as a nestjs typosquat. - **Rationale:** This is an automatic install-time credential-exfiltration and reverse-shell chain, not a user-invoked administrative feature. The hard-coded external server and typosquat metadata further support malicious intent. - **Files touched:** index.js, servers.json - **Network endpoints:** 84.32.22.44:9999 ### Review decision - **Verdict:** Malicious - **Confidence:** 99.0% - **Recommended action:** publish\_block - **Intent class:** Malware - **False-positive risk:** Low - **Evidence for:** The manifest automatically runs index.js after installation., The install script collects environment variables whose names begin with SECRET, API, TOKEN, or KEY., Collected values are sent over a TCP connection to a configured external server., The same install path launches netcat with a shell, creating a reverse shell., The configured server is 84.32.22.44 on port 9999., The package describes itself as a typosquat of nestjs. ## Public findings ### 1. High: Install Time Lifecycle Scripts - **Category:** Manifest - **Confidence:** 90.0% - **Path:** package.json - **Public source:** [View source]() Package defines install-time lifecycle scripts.
